Re: The Asian Drama Thread

The score is pretty good. I'm not sure about mixing law/legal aspects with comedy but it sounds pretty interesting. How is it so far?

well there was Hero by Kimura Takuya, where he was a weird quirky prosecutor who solved crimes much like Sherlock. And it was i think meant to be a comedy. And got popular enough to get a second season years after.

if you dont mind the sameness in every epsiode and watch it just as a way to kill time and focus on acting, it is ok.I remember laughing a lot in some episodes. but if you like a solid story about law and great comedy this aint it....

I'm still in the middle of Padam Padam- but I'm telling you guys. Jung Woo-sul is the best. I'd seen him in A Moment to Remember and I was a fan then. He's a really good actor- and his gaze can melt you into a puddle

Hmm, then you are still at the good part of Padam Padam. I completely agree with you, Jung Woo Sung is an amazing actor. You never get the feeling that that person is not Kang Chil who went through all that shit and lost his faith in the good in people and the world in general. It´s not even the highly emotional scenes that impressed me so much, it is more the subtle things that convinced me. One example: The scene in which he and Ji-Na ride the train together but are disturbed by the fishselling ahjumma who insults Kang Chil right in front of him (I think it´s around minute 7 http://www.dramacrazy.net/korean-dra...isode-5/194803). The forced smile he shows is so heart-aching. For me, the guy is definitely among the Top10 of Korean actors, including movie actors of course.

I have finished Legal High, while it is nothing extraordinary, I need to admit it's really entertaining. It offers a good balance between courtroom drama and comedy, and the cast is just in harmony with each other. For a fan of legal tv show or comedy series in general, probably I'd say it's a pretty good series.

I cried like a lot during that movie. >>; I second A Moment to Remember. It's one of my favorite movies.

Blades of Blood

That is the title of the latest addition to my Asian drama/movie list. It is an interesting movie, it starts a little slow but then it gets very interesting. The movie deals with the following topics: politics, betrayal, thirst for power, and love. My favorite character in this movie is the blind man, actor Hwang Jung-min is the one who plays said character and he does an amazing job. Cha Seung-won does an amazing job as well, both guys are absolutely great in this movie.

I think i said this before, if you guys need something to watch, i can recommend 2 drama from 2007, first is Thank You, the most heartwarming drama i have ever watched, the second is Flowers of my Life, also very sad, funny (sometimes real dark humor) and heartwarming.
